Welcome to “Let’s Talk PND”. It is my own personal journey through motherhood that has inspired me to cut the stigma on PNA and PND, and help others through such an isolating time. Join me as I share my own personal experience with PND and chat to other parents who have experienced the same. We delve into the similarities between their stories and share the other side of parenthood that no one talks about.
Welcome to the next episode of Let's Talk PND. This episode I chat with Hannah, Mum to 2, Arc and Luna who are 8 and 5. Hannah is a single Mum, navigating through parenthood and today is sharing her experience with PND and PNA.
Hannah is also the owner of Childhood Rising, a business dedicated to parenting and healing stress and trauma. Head over to her Instagram page @childhood.rising and give her a follow.
I hope you enjoy this episode!

Ep 8- Abigael & Elliot
On this episode, I chat with Abigael who is a Mum to little Elliot and is also currently 19wks pregnant. Abigael experienced postpartum rage amongst her postpartum journey and struggles with breastfeeding, tongue ties, an emergency caesarean turned vaginal birth and the fears she has around her next birth. Postpartum rage isn't widely spoken about and it is one of the most dangerous postnatal disorders, with a lot of people having fears that they will hurt their baby due to the uncontrollable nature it has. Thankyou Abigael for chatting with me and I hope you all enjoy listening to her story.
Head to my website or Instagram for some lovely photos Abigael has shared with us.

On this episode, I speak to Catie who is a Mum of 2 to Parker (4yrs) and Hamilton (7months).

Ep 1- My Story
Hi everyone and welcome to Let's Talk PND.
This is the first episode and I thought I would start by sharing my story and my struggles with PND. I had a wonderful pregnancy and a lovely home birth with my son Louis. Unfortunately he was a very colicy baby and screamed most of the day for the first 12weeks of his life and this was the start of a very slippery slope. At 7 months, I decided to finally convince myself I needed help as I feared the life of my son everyday due to uncontrollable rage and the inability to control my body at times. Now, 15months postpartum I have the most beautiful son and he is the love of my life.
I hope you enjoy this episode. If you would like to share your story, get in touch below. I look forward to hearing from you.
